For many years, Osprey have nested on the
towers near the Velodrome along SR-520. They started out on a cell tower,
but about 3 years ago, that tower was decommissioned, and the county put up a
new tower for the ospreys. They've been nesting on this new wooden tower
since then.

Here are some photos from Ollie Oliver of
this year's nest, all taken in mid-July.
